I can't wait for Spring! This Winter seems so long. Those statements are so very true for me, this year. I never really minded the cold or the snow. In fact, I really welcomed the change of season, but this year................UGH! I just want the Spring to pop up. I am hoping that it happens soon. It is just too much this year. People in Minnesota are saying that we have gotten more snow than them. The storm that hit on Sunday into Monday dumped up to 14 and in some cases 16 inches here on Long Island. Now, the cold is following! For the past 2 days the news is reporting that the temperature is cold. Yesterday's high was a whopping 14 degrees! Right now, as I write this, the temp has dropped to 7, from 11 degrees. I guess that I am complaining! Many posts ago, or not so many, I said that it didn't do us any good to complain about the weather. I know in my head that it doesn't, but I am.
So much bad news in the world. The oppressive weather, they both contribute to my general funky mood. I guess I have to do something interesting over the next couple of days. That will lift my mood. Now what is interesting? Don't ask, cause I don't know, yet!
I am also anticipating my doctor's appointment. I have one tomorrow, and I just don't want ot hear it, I didn't go for my bloodwork, I am overweight, etc. etc. etc. I just want the doc to perscribe my meds, they work, and I need a new perscription. I seriously need ot find a new doctor, one that listens to me, and one that is closer in proxcimity to my home. I stayed with the family practicioner that we had used when we lived out east, but the location and the driving when the kids are sick or when I need to see the doc, is just not convenient. The last time I took Patrick to him, for illness, he told my son that he was obese! My weightlifting, active, football and baseball player. The boy who can bench press his weight. Patrick refuses to go to the doctor now. He detests the doc because he said that. Patrick is the first one to run around the block to build his stamina, the first to work out on a snow day, the first to drink water instead of juice or iced tea. So, that is where I am at.............still shuffling people where they need to go, still getting up early to ensure that everyone's needs are met. Cooking, cleaning, wiping down the bathrooms, etc......Life is life, it moves and grooves, it ebbs and flows, good, bad, excitement, boredom, happy and sad. That is what is.

After hoping all season for a snowfall of significance and getting all of 4 inches, I am now giving up and looking forward to Spring. And it cannot come soon enough, either. This has got to be one of the longest winters that I can remember.
I hear you, sister. Ebbs and flows, ups and downs. On and on. I am fortunate to have a female doctor. I told her years ago, "I'm not stupid. I know I am overweight. When I am ready, I will do something about it."
She has never said anything to me in a negative way, unless it is high triglycerides or something that is medical and she can control.
She listens to me. She has children.
Good luck.
You guys have been getting pounded with snow back there. We on the other hand have had the driest and warmest Februray in recorded history. The downside is it is this the first of March and we are having forest fires like we normally get in May and the trees in town are already starting to leaf out. Not a good thing.
